Hakkımda:



Arts 2 People is excited to bring you the 8th annual Lexington Ave Arts and Fun Festival on Sunday, September 6th, 2009, Labor Day Weekend!

Join us in the annual FREE end-of-summer celebration of Asheville's artistic and musical communities. Three blocks of N. Lexington Ave in downtown Asheville will be brimming with all local art, food, beer, music, street performers, and random acts of creativity on Labor Day Sunday, September 6th from 11am - 9pm between College Street and the I 240 overpass.

LAAFF has become the showcase event for all types of talent on multiple stages and performance areas including rock and roll, indie pop, funk, folk, ragtime, reggae, world beats, singer-songwriters, bluegrass, old time, African drummers, clowns, magicians, contortionists, belly dancers, modern dancers, vaudeville actors, break dancers, hula hoopers, and more. LAAFF has grown over the years to become known as Asheville's largest independent street festival with upwards of 12,000 in attendance.

LAAFF is is an experience the whole family can get into. Kids will love making art, dancing, getting their faces painted and having fun all day long. Kids are also in on the act showing off their breakdancing, parading, and making music. The big "kids" will enjoy the ever popular bicycle jousting, local brews provided by the Asheville Brewers Alliance, an eclectic culinary and artistic experience, as well as the new big people game, Big Wheels for Big Kids. There will be lots of fun new vendors as well as old favorites with a ton of variety.

This year at LAAFF we will once again have the ever popular Bicycle Jousting, which is led by LAAFF co-founder, Michael Mooney, as Medieval Knievel. This is a fun and safe bike joust where contestants are armored up with foam and helmets. The sit upon bike with banana seats and wheel with elliptical hubs which make the bike bounce up and down like riding on a horse. Each contestant holds a long pole with a boxing glove on the end..If they can reach each other they try and joust the other off the bike. It is extremely fun to watch and a great activity that Michael created as an event at LAAFF. To see the gear in advance go to Pack Place's Front Gallery... will you dare to ride?

LaZoom Tour Bus is also involved as a performance area this year if you just want to enjoy an easier going ride... LaZoom will have five shows departing from the top of Lexington Ave on the top of each hour starting at 2pm. Each ride will be a 40 minute loop around Asheville. There will be a variety of acts; a kid shows, family friendly and 1 adult only. This is set up as an affordable way to fundraise at LAAFFwith extra entertainment to the festival. $2 for kids and $3 for adults.

The Asheville Arts Center and the Oddysey Kid schools will be teaming up with storytellers from the Asheville Library to host the LAAFF Kid's Area. There will be free face painting and a chill out zone for parents with babies who may need to sit down and relax, breastfeed, or change a diaper.

As part of an ongoing commitment to improve and expand the role of the Lexington Avenue Arts Festival in the community, greening efforts and more emphasis on environmental issues will continue to increase. The core principle of being an all local event has been a foundation of the festival's efforts to support local artists, musicians, restaurants, and non-profits. For instance, using water sales as a way for local non-profits to raise funds and involving the Asheville On Bikes organization to host a bike corral, encouraging participants in the festival to ride bikes, use public transportation, and carpool to limit their impact. Reducing waste has always been an important goal, and last year composting was added to the recycling and reuse efforts. Many of the food and beverage vendors are now using compostable cups and utensils. The festival will continue to include local non-profits, especially environmental and arts organizations and hopefully will showcase renewable energy at next year's event. For more info email greening@lexfestasheville.com.

LAAFF will also have a great merchandise area with LAAFF T-shirts, water bottles, Freaks of Asheville calendars, and performer merchandise. 100% of performer merch proceeds goes back to the bands themselves. There will also be a silent auction to raise fund for Arts 2 People of which some donated items are avaible to see on our "silent auction" page of this website. We will be accepting items up through the morning of the festival. Email vending@lexfestasheville.com if you would like to donate.

LAAFF relies on community support to ensure our success each year. LAAFF is a volunteer driven event, with minimal staput on by and for the community. Your tax-deductible contribution ensures the ongoing successes of this much anticipated yearly Asheville celebration.
